The Manager: Insurance and Risk introduced the report of the Chief Executive that confirmed the outline of a forthcoming review of the Corporate Risk Register and provided an update as to the development of risk registers for other areas. The potential impact of a governance review on future risk recording and reporting arrangements was also indicated.

The report informed that following adoption of the Wirral Plan in 2015 the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT) revised the Council’s Corporate Risk Register. This had been reported to the Audit and Risk Management Committee on 14 June 2016. The report further informed that regular reviews had been undertaken by the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). Currently these addressed progress in relation to the management of the existing corporate risks as well as emerging risk areas for possible addition to the Register.

The Senior Risk and Insurance Officer informed that an update report was scheduled for consideration by the SLT the following week and a full report and conclusions would be reported to the Audit and Risk Management Committee at its next meeting in the New Year.

Resolved - That

(1)  the development in relation to the production of risk registers for Wirral Plan pledge strategies be noted; and

(2)  the outcome of the forthcoming review of the Corporate Risk Register be reported to the next meeting of this committee.
